It feels very hard to associate "Pillr" with something non-medical.
You have a point. I was hoping that the greek pillar emblem would correct it.
They got what they thought was a killer domain. Many landlords aren't impressed by tech cuteness.
Why is there no company listed or company locations? Why fill out such a full form without any product feature pictures or more information available? Not getting my info!
I imagine your conversion to be extremely low.

First pass. Click the link > Blank page. Hit refresh. See a page and understand nothing. Click the only button on the page and land on a form the size of the declaration. Leave.

Tried again. Scroll hijacking, blurry fonts.

I don't mean to be crass, but what are you showing here? It's not an app for landlords, but rather, a prototypical "lean startup" lead collection form. Have you built any of the real app? I think you'd be better served to do a "Show HN" once there's something to show.
OP: interested to hear the story behind this. Did you come across a landlord who needed these problems solved, or are you one yourself? How many users do you have?

Getting people an extra 7-10% out of their investment is no small feat. I live in a country (Australia) where the major cities are, in my opinion, slowly transitioning from primarily-owned to primarily-rented housing. That's a lot of property management money coming into circulation!

There is a lot of value to be captured if you can provide a better service than a property manager at a real estate chain... but those people are likely to be much better at handling worst-case scenarios involving bad tenants.
